Defend The Heroes - Answering John Murtha

The following ad by the William Russell for Congress answers Congressman Jack Murtha's long public indictment of American Marines was factually wrong. Instead of "cold blooded killers," court rulings reveal a dramatically different story of personal courage under fire. True heroism.
Lt. Col. Bill Russell's grassroots campaign in Pennsylvania 12th Congressional District is setting the record straight. By standing up for fellow veterans, military personnel and average taxpayers, Russell is taking on one of Washington's most entrenched powerbrokers in what columnist Michelle Malkin calls a "David versus Goliath" contest. A survivor of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the Pentagon, Bill's campaign is a call to conservative reform and patriotic action at the William Russell for Congress Site!

America's Unsung Heroes ... Knifed in Their Back by Rep Jack Murtha

Autorotate: America's Unsung Heroes: The enlisted Sailor, Marines & Airmen In an era in which the welfare of our nation's military is used as a political bargaining chip by the left, an era in which a vast amount of the American public is clueless to the threats that immanently surround this country, and an era in which the sacrifice of the men and women before us has not only gone unheralded, but has been spat upon, it is time for us to snap out of our lethargy and show the appreciation and respect due to our nation's unsung heroes: our enlisted members of the US Armed Forces.

These young men and women are the true sons and daughters of America. They come from Maine to Puerto Rico, from Texas to Hawaii, from across borders to earn their citizenship, and within this great nation to defend it. They don't do it for glory, for our countries respect is placed upon musicians, athletes and politicians. They don't do it for the pay, because in most cases, they would be far better off in the civilian sector. These men and women bear the heavy burden of ensuring the domestic tranquility of this nation because they are called to, and for such, I and the rest of the country should be eternally grateful. These warriors are the backbone of our military. While the officers lead these men, nothing would be accomplished without them.

Across the country we see veterans being mocked by college professors in California, protesters accusing our military of grievous acts in down right lies and Presidential candidates hurriedly ensure the failure of a war we are winning.

Today, America, is the day to recognize these men and women. And not by waving a flag or saying good deeds about them, but by legitimately standing up and taking a stand of courage. Taking a stand to say, enough is enough, when men who have fought so bravely to protect the freedom of speech are lampooned by liberal media. Enough is enough when Marines who have represented this country with honor and tradition are knifed in the back by one of their own, Rep John Murtha. Enough is enough when bills in congress meant to fund and support our troops are vetoed repeatedly by the democrats, in effort to make a political statement.

To those who have forgotten these brave souls, I say shame on you. To those who wish their failure I say be damned, for they are the ones who keep you and your families from being vaporized in the night by terrorists and extremists. Let not their acts go unmentioned and forgotten, lest we shall be condemned to live under the merciless will of those who wish our demise.

Gun Owners of America Endorses Bill Russell

Gun Owners of America is one of America’s largest, grassroots, Pro-2nd Amendment groups. It has announced it’s support for Bill Russell this week in Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional District. Russell earned the backing of the Gun Owners of America following a thorough review of Russell’s answers to their 2008 Candidate’s Survey and incumbent John Murtha’s (D-PA 12th) public record.

Gun Owners of America Notice to William Russell for Congress:
“Gun Owners of America - Political Victory Fund is pleased to endorse your candidacy for Pennsylvania’s 12th district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Our Second Amendment rights are under constant attack in the media, the courts, and in the halls of Congress.

Although the U.S. Supreme Court finally recognized that the Second Amendment protects an individual right, many leaders in Washington, D.C., are still attempting to regulate the right to keep and bear arms out of existence. Just last year, Congress passed a law that contributed to the disarming of hundreds of thousands of honorably discharged veterans.

Your public service record and answers to the Gun Owners of America candidate questionnaire show a deep commitment to the Second Amendment and the Constitution. We are honored to make this endorsement, and look forward to working with you upon your election to the U.S. Congress.”
